None, zero, nada... Never heard about it either. Instead of $60, she pays $105/month for full coverage. She's insured with Nation Wide for 4 years. She called Geico and got the same answer and it was going to be even more expensive.

Well they are now basing rates on credit scores, sounds like her's may be in the crapper!

In the case of a rear-ender (like this one), it's pretty clear who's at fault. An important thing to do, besides exchanging info, is to take pictures of the accident scene, even if it's just with a cell phone, so visual proof of the accident can be presented to the insurance company. I personally carry a compact digital camera with me everywhere I go, just in case of something like this, or if I see something interesting I want a pic of.
what state do you live in???...In Illinois you better have a police report...

TX, and a police report is supposed to be filed, online if it's a minor fender bender and the police don't show up at the accident scene, as I explained in another post (#39) in this thread.

Actually, it's an accident report that's filed with the appropriate police agency where the accident occurred. And yes, when filing an insurance claim, the insurance company will ask for a copy of the filed accident report, whether it's prepared by the police or by the party to the accident.

Call HER insurance company and file the claim, not yours. Keep your company out of it if you can.

Any one else notice this?
I was at a small strip mall with tight parking and in an odd configuration too, women beside me seemed to be in a hurry so I waited and she did not get 1/2 way out of the parking spot when the guy from the next row over backing out creamed her in the side. It can happen anytime, anywhere. Good Luck

Corvettes and wal-mart just don't mix. The only way my 'Vette goes to wal-mart is if it's a drive-by.

I got out of my car and noticed that there was not much damage to my car other some scrathes. I took her info and have decided to call and make a claim against her since I am not sure what else could be wrong. I know going to walmart in a vette is a bad idea but I have never had any problems and I always park away from everyone, plus it is a beautiful day. So would anyone else have filed a claim?
